MLBPA rejects MLB's latest proposal and will not counter: "Inform us and our members of how many games you intend to play and when and where players should report"

Current MLB. If the owners say see you in March 2021, does that mean anyone that has an expiring contract can start negotiating as a Free Agent?  For example Andrelton Simmons.

The players are already guaranteed service time, so players contracts are counting down even if they are sitting at home.

Btw, for those of you telling the players to f#ck off.  The way the playoff shares works is like this...  Players get a share of the gate money for the first three games of the ALDS, and the first four of the additional two playoff tiers.... no additional salary.   Meanwhile, owners get gate money for all the games and ALL of the TV revenue...

But yeah, F them....

[angelinkc]

I don't blame anyone. Tough to pick a side without all the financials. I hope we have a season but I can understand it may not worth it to either side.

Even after the players say.... "Whatever tell us when and where", MLB responds by trying to cast blame on the players.

They know they are getting exactly what they want and yet they continue to do this..

Incredible

Posturing. A bunch of bs, but a significant portion of posters here will eat it because they like their crap served hot.

Counting players who have been in the majors for 1 day is ridiculous.

Yeah there is a fair critique on the methodology, but they were attempting to look at all current major leaguers, of which I'm not sure if there is a perfect way to define it. There aren't a lot of 1 day and done guys anyway.

You could argue that the numbers are less accurate because they don't include players that never made it to the major leagues, who toiled for years in the minors without any payoff instead.

Let's go owners!!!

If what you say is true. Then when the CBA is up expect a missed season and a complete overhaul to the entire system. The players in baseball are making less with an open check book system then in a salary cap. Baseball will be changing, minor league system will be changing and the entire how you become a free agent will change. This is the start of a whole new baseball era. It should be exciting.

Yes let’s do this. I hope this happens.

I always side with players, owners are part of 1% in this country.

Owners are much more higher than 1%, it's more like .0002%. As of Oct. 2019 there are 621 billionaires in the US according to Forbes.  621/~330000000 =.00000188.  But I agree with your point.

Owners: "0 and Spring Training, March 2021"

i disagree. no way the owners are walking away from billions of dollars in playoff tv money, etc. 

they have the option to mandate whatever number of games they want to play and the players have already agreed to do so. the difference is now the union will file a grievance that the owners' scheduled the season in bad faith, which i think they will lose, but never the less a "season" gets played.

For the record, the owners didn't actually say that
